With a number of other lads Walter
was practicing a leap from the parallel
bars to the horizontal bar. Swinging q
few times he released his grasp
before attaining sufficient momen.
tum to reach the horizontal bar,
he alighted on the mattress with his
left arm in such a position that the two
bones in the forearm, Just above the
wrist, were fractured. The break Is an
ugly one and considerable time will

The firm OF Kleeman Bros, bakers and
conteetioners, made an assignment to. day
in favor OF all their creditors. Mr.. John
a%umptner was named as assignee and
was accepted by the creditors as entirely
satisfactory. An invoice is being taken
and a reporter who called to obtain infor.
nation as to the status of affairs was told
that the liabilities of the house are rough
ly estimated at 81, 900, which the assets
will, it is believed, suffice to pay off dollar
for dollar. The immediate cause of the
assignment was the crowding of the firm
by one of its creditors.
